Summary

Key learnings

  • 3 different smFISH experiments used in Karolinska for different purpose : serial, barcoded and combination of the two
  • Metadata is acquired on : Experimental, sample, data acquisition, data mining, data atlasing, storage

Needs from the community

  • Agree on a format(s) for different types of metadata
  • Metadata about storage is important for quality control of tissue sample
  • Collect metadata about the code run to understand the processing of results

Ideas for how to action

  • Differentiate between searchable and non-searchable metadata
  • Explore options for formats of different metadata - for example gene panels, logs from fluidic system, from microscope
  • Ensure can support imaging experiments
  • Ensure can support code metadata (if collecting analyzed results)
